So Georgia-Pacific, owned by the multi-billionaires Charles and David Koch, wants an $800,000 reduction in its local Green Bay taxes. This reduction apparently would result in the normal taxpayers in Green Bay making up for the loss of revenue in the local municipal budget.

Does any sane person wonder why the rich are getting richer and the normal folk are stagnating or regressing in their economic status? It appears that behaviors of the 19th-century robber barons are re-emerging with a vengeance in the current Trumpian era of privilege for the rich.

Of course, the Koch Brothers are likely drooling with anticipation for more millions of dollars in tax breaks on the national level given the pending massive tax reductions for oligarchs outlined in the bill now proposed by the Republicans in Washington.

Big tax breaks on the national and local levels for the wealthy are not a bad deal for robber barons. How does this seem given the modest checking and saving accounts of most normal folk?
